The airport features two asphalt runways supporting general aviation and regional transportation needs. Located at coordinates 35.672901, -120.626999, the airport provides critical infrastructure for pilots operating in the coastal California terrain.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at KPRB demonstrate predominantly favorable VFR flying environments, with 76.7% of observations reporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences moderate wind patterns, predominantly from the east at an average of 6.1 knots, with calm conditions occurring 35% of the time. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 37°C, indicating significant seasonal variation that pilots should anticipate during flight planning.

Notable Features
